Augsburg will host Union Berlin in the seventh round of the Bundesliga on 24 October 2026, with the visitors aiming to extend a run of two successive league matches without conceding. Augsburg are the bookmakers’ favourites, but recent meetings between the sides point towards a game with fewer than 2.5 goals.
Augsburg seeking a return to winning ways
Augsburg have collected eight points from their opening six matches, recording two wins, two draws and two defeats. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 12, leaving them 10th in the table and three points clear of the relegation play-off places.
However, Augsburg have gone four league games without a victory. They drew 2-2 with Bayer and Bayern, before suffering defeats by Werder Bremen, 3-2, and Elversberg, 4-3.
Michael Gregoritsch is the club’s leading scorer in the Bundesliga this season, with four goals.
The hosts’ recent record is also a concern. According to the available statistics, Augsburg have not won any of their previous five matches.
Union Berlin hard to break down
Union Berlin have kept clean sheets in their last two Bundesliga fixtures. They first defeated Elversberg 1-0 at home, then drew 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund in the capital a week later.
The result against Borussia Dortmund came despite Union Berlin having only 37% possession. They did not register a shot on target and recorded an expected-goals figure of 0.80.
At the time the prediction was written, the Berlin side occupied 17th place in the Bundesliga with five points from six matches. Union Berlin were level with Paderborn and Schalke on points, but sat behind them on additional criteria.
Union Berlin have lost three of their six previous matches. Even so, their recent head-to-head record against Augsburg is favourable: they have won twice in the teams’ last three meetings and remain unbeaten across those fixtures. The most recent encounter ended in a 4-0 victory for Union Berlin.
Prediction points to a tight contest
Only one of the previous four matches between these clubs at Augsburg has produced more than 2.5 goals.
That record, together with Union Berlin’s back-to-back clean sheets, suggests another closely contested match. The prediction is therefore for a low-scoring game, with the total number of goals expected to remain below 2.5.
